Well, what do you use to put it to sleep with?

What does this thread have to do with putting it to sleep?
On the Inc menu buttons, they 'backlight' automatically when in a low light situation. I think that is what the OP was experiencing in his first post.

You don't have to follow me. I'm trying to figure out if the problem is similar to what we see in the Droid, they are both Android phones. When we push the power button the Droid sleeps and when we push it back a second time the power buttons comes on.

So I'm thinking that putting the phone to sleep and waking it back up might fix it, or at least be a work around.

I think it's using a sensor on the bottom of the phone, possibly the optical mouse. Cover that area in sleep mode, press power button, and the bottom buttons light up.

It's all good. I had a Droid and wasn't understanding what you meant by sleep mode. I'm sure it's the same as me saying I use the power button to turn the screen off. I thought when you said sleep mode it had to do with using it on your night stand in sleep mode.

Thanks for the responses. Still not sure I can see the sensor. But, it certainly seems to be true that covering up the phone reliably turns on the backlights for the buttons. Seems a little weird cuz it's hard to read them otherwise even in good light...
